We currently have two Care Experienced people who represent our members’ voices in Scotland’s biggest youth forum.
Your Who Cares? Scotland Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament are Charles Fernando and Oisín King.
Charles and Oisín will stand as MSYPs from March 2022 until 2024, and throughout this time they will be looking to hear about the issues most important to you and discuss changes you’d like to see happen in Scotland. As your representatives, it is their role to listen to you and amplify the voices of the Care Experienced community within this vital youth forum.

Hi My name is Charles. I grew up in Aberdeenshire and I also spent time in Sri Lanka. My hobbies are reading and cooking. I currently living in Edinburgh, but I will be moving to Glasgow. I love volunteering and trip planning. I
I am very honoured to be a part pf the NRB and I will perform this role to best of my abilities. I think that as community we have a long way to go to garner the respect and support, we deserve. I think there is much work to do especially around the difference of care provided across public bodies. I look forward to bringing our collective experiences to the Scottish Parliament.
Hey! I’m Oisín, I’m 17 and I live in Edinburgh at the moment with hopes to go back to my home city of Glasgow! I have always been driven and passionate about making sure that young people’s voices are heard, but care experienced
voice has always been at the forefront of my focus.
As MSYP it is my job to ensure that the young people of Scotland and Who Cares? Scotland members are listened to by decision-makers that will spark radical changes. I am also a massive book-lover and have a major obsession with iced coffee…It’s becoming an issue.
Care Experienced member Charles attended the Conference of Youth 16 as Scotland’s first ever representative!
